Many of you are foregoing profitable employment to at-
Lnd College. It may have been a difficult decision to make.

There is an increasing demand for college-trained men
Lid women. No change in the situation is expected for years
Income, which means greater monetary returns to college grad-

Lie that will not be evaluated in terms of material things alone.

Counselors
Help Solve
ManyProblems
Forty-five prospective Freshmen
were counseled at the RJC Counseling Bureau during the summer.
Thirty-one were graduates of
Lourdes or Rochester high schools,
and two were returned veterans.
In addition, eleven Junior College
students, three high-school students and three adults were counseled. The number of interviews
varied from one to three per person, and the testing varied from
none to several hours, of which
most individuals took several
hours.
One girl from New York state
was visiting with relatives in Rochester and took complete counseling. Her problem was related to
whether or not she should consider college training after she
graduates from high school next
year.
Another girl, who will be a senior in high school, was concerned
about whether or not she should
take courses in science and home
economics this year.
Many of the prospective students were at a loss as to what
their real interests were. Their
interests were checked rather
thoroughly through objective tests,
hobbies, work experience, etc.

Walton Takes |25 Freshmen
Physics Post ■■■ ...
Invade J. v*. Halls
RJC's new teacher of physics
and physical science is Mr. William U. Walton of Wooster, Ohio.
He received his M. S. degree in
physics at the University of Michigan in 1950, and since that time
has been the instructor of physics
at the College of Wooster.
His formal college education included three years at the University of Michigan, and three years
at the George Washington University at Washington, D. C. At
these colleges he majored in physics, education, and biology.
His employment, besides teaching at the College of Wooster
has included a research assistant-
ship at the University of Michigan
Bureau of Psychological Services
and at the Biophysics Laboratory.
While at the George Washington
University, he was physics laboratory instructor and laboratory assistant. From December, 1944, to
July, 1946, he served as Electronic Technician's Mate in the U. S.
Navy.
In the past summers, Mr. Walton has been Assistant Director
at Bruin Lake Camp in Michigan,
Scoutcraft Director and Naturalist
at Camp Roosevelt in Washington,
D. C, and Nature Director and
Organizer at Camp Letts, also in
Washington, D. C.
Mr. Walton's hobbies (as can
be guessed by the way he spends
his summers!) include camping
and wood and metal work. Bicycling with the American Youth
Hostels takes some of his time and
interest, as well as does photography.
Freshman Week, the purpose of which is to acquaint freshman
students with R. J. C, was completed last Friday after four days of
tests, lectures, tours and luncheons.
Orientation Week officially started on Tuesday, September 2,
when the freshman students were given reading tests and registration
for classes was begun. The second day of Freshman orientation
opened with a Convocation at which Mr. Charlie Singley acted as
Master of Ceremonies. The students were welcomed by Dean Goddard, who explained "The Purpose of Freshman Orientation." Talks
were given by sophomore students who described some of the Junior
College's major extra-curricular activities:Sports, Gail Anderson; Social Affairs, Pat Blethen; Student Council, Bob Ripple,- and publications,
Nancy Edwards. The cheerleaders were introduced and Mr. Kortz
led the students in the college song which concluded1 the convocation.
On Wednesday noon the freshman students and faculty were guests
at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
On Thursday morning a second
convocation was held at which
faculty members spoke on the following topics: "Success of Graduates" by Dean Goddard; "Honors and Awards" by Mr. Singley;
"Function of the Counseling Bureau and the Student Work Committee," Mr. Davis; School paper
and annual, Miss Matt; Dramatics,
Miss McGhee,- and Mr. Suddendorf discussed the college chorus.
At 4:00 Thursday afternoon the
freshmen enjoyed themselves at
a picnic at Silver Lake.
Friday saw the end of Orientation Week with the completion
of the testing program and Freshman registration. At noon the
students were given a chance to
see the Merry-Go-Round at a
luncheon held for them.
Freshmen Come
From Near and Far
This year the freshman girls
outnumber the boys at J. C. On
August 26 there were 46 boys and
54 girls among the applicants,
which gives this freshman class a
total of 100 students.
Most of the students are from
R. H. S. and Lourdes, but there
are also some from Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, North Dakota, and
one from Hawaii, as well as students from nearby communities.
Ophthalmic Optics again comes
to life with a total of seven students. The course leading the
race is the Medical Secretarial
with 26 enrolled. Running close
seconds are General Secretarial
(22) and Business Administration
(9). Apparently there are not
many students interested in becoming lawyers, because Pre-Law
has only one student.
Next in line are S. L. A. with
7; Pre-Business, 6; Pre-Education,
3; Pre-Engineering, 4; Pre-Medi-
cine and Pre-Dentistry, 2; Business
Machines, 2; Secretarial Finishing,
